Former Saints linebackers Will Compton, Jayrone Elliott sign with new teams

Two one-time members of the New Orleans Saints linebacker corps have earned new NFL opportunities: Will Compton signed with the Tennessee Titans (where he played in 2018) while Jayrone Elliott reunited with the Pittsburgh Steelers (who teamed up with him for five games in 2019).

Compton caught on with the Saints in the middle of training camp last summer, but was waived with an injury designation after getting hurt in a preseason game. He later joined the then-Oakland Raiders and started a few games down the stretch. Back in Tennessee, he has a shot at cracking the roster with strong practice performance.
